Plastic surgeons and cosmetic companies are rushing to convince people that the same effects you see from any weight loss are worse with GLP-1 agonists, to court a market with demonstrated willingness to spend money on (among other things) their looks.
Plastic surgeons, I expect, are especially concerned about a large reduction in volume of lipo & related procedures, and are eager to get the message out that “no, you still need to come pay us to cut on you!”
Yeah, a number of independent plastic surgeons are just coming to the same conclusion then, for people who are still going to see them for excess skin removal. OK, sure.
There was a large amount of skepticism in the original HN thread, but it strikes me as weird and dangerous, along the same lines of COVID-19 deniers.
